Diagon Alley – The White Dragon

On our trip to Universal Studios in October 2014, we visited the newly opened Diagon Alley in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. All I can say is WOW! I go on and on about the attention to detail at both Universal and Disney. It’s mind blowing. You’ll never be disappointed.

The white dragon sits atop Gringotts bank, making it’s escape.

Every 15 minutes or so it breathes fire. It roars and growls just before the blast of heat stretches over the alley.

I couldn’t enough of the Wizarding World. Over our three day visit, we spent at least a full day of combined time exploring this world, wishing we lived there. Highly recommend a visit if you’re a fan.
